Amanda Rabor of Mini Mode commented on the event in a statement, “This year we have all had to ‘pivot’ and find new ways of reaching out, engaging, and doing what we love. The world has changed and our resilience, adaptability, and forethought are being tested. It has taken us a year to get this vision together and it has been fraught with logistical, emotional, and financial challenges for our designers, yet they have managed to create beautiful collections and share them with us, I commend them all.”
